Description:
Prophet’s Rock, nestled in the heart of Central Otago, has earned its place as one of New Zealand’s most celebrated wineries. Our journey began with a passion for exceptional winemaking, rooted in the unique terroir of Bendigo. Since our inception, we have been committed to crafting wines that not only reflect the land but also tell a story of dedication, tradition, and innovation.
The foundation of this wine is our focus on delivering low-yielding concentrated fruit that expresses our vineyard. In the winery, we employ traditional old world techniques; the grapes are handled gently and the wines are fermented using only the indigenous yeast from the vineyard.
The wines are aged in barrel for 15-18 months before being bottled unfiltered, and are cellared before release. Since the first release in 2005, the Prophet’s Rock Pinot Noir has consistently been one of the best-reviewed Pinot Noirs in New Zealand.
Cellaring will reward collectors over the next 10+ years from vintage.
Tasting Note: Vibrant red and dark cherry, strawberry, and violet notes, layered with spice, subtle earthy, and chalky or gravelly tannins on a long, textured finish.
Food Pairing: Pair it with duck, lamb, game meats or how about a mushroom risotto? Yum.
